Abstract

See full text

This present invention is a method and apparatus for drag reduction for a nautical vessel. The nautical vessel produces air bubbles and interposes the air bubbles between the exterior of the hull of a nautical vessel and the body of water that the vessel is moving through. Rather than utilizing an air compressor or other external energy source, the compressed air is generated from the movement of the vessel and is released where needed in order to reduce drag on the vessel.
